“For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
For the entire law is fulfilled in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' — Paul's radical condensation: 'holos nomos' (the entire law, all 613 commandments in Jewish reckoning) is 'plēroō' (fulfilled, completed) in the single commandment of neighbor-love (Leviticus 19:18), establishing love as the law's summum bonum and its replacement, not its expansion.
